Serving, Protecting and Preserving Our Lives

Florida Court Clerks and Comptrollers are independently elected constitutional officers, who protect the interests of you – the citizen. As the County Comptroller, they provide a critical check and balance to make sure your tax dollars are spent appropriately. As Clerk, they serve as the keeper of court records, documenting our lives from birth to death. The Clerk's office performs more than 1,000 different constitutional and statutory functions or duties, representing the broadest and most diverse mantle of responsibility of any locally elected official.
